Footage to date fails to prove Gaza complex was nerve centre for attacks on Israel, as military had claimed

Ah yes, which is why the only evidence Israel gives is of guns behind an MRI machine... An MRI machine which, as you may know, is extremely dangerous to operate in the presence of metal.

When did al-Shifa lose power again? Definitely not 3 weeks ago...

It had power up until the start of the IDF siege, so 5 days ago at most.

The big power hungry machine is definitely what you want to be spending your fuel reserves on when there is a nicu you're trying to operate. Some common sense does go a long way in this situations. I recommend trying to use some.

That would be a correct assessment:

https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/radiol.2020192084

Radiology departments are major energy consumers within a hospital through operation of CT and MRI scanners, which require energy in the range of 0.5–30 kWh per examination, with peak consumption reaching beyond 100 kW for a short time period.

Note that the low side of that are CT scanners, MRI are in the 25kWh to 30kWh range per exam.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344207928_Emergency_Power_Supply_for_NICU_of_a_Hospital_by_Solar-Wind-Based_System_a_Step_Towards_Sustainable_Development_Journal_of_Solar_Energy_Research_JSER_53_506-515

The neonatal ward of the hospital under study contains 10 phototherapy devices and 4 incubators, with their consumed kWh during the day, equal to 1.08, and 10.76, respectively [16].

So just under 12kWh to operate those 14 NICU devices for 24 hours.

So the energy to perform 1 MRI exam would at a minimum power 28 NICU devices for 24 hours.

On top of that, the peak power usage of an MRI can reach 100kW!

Don't forget, you're not only powering the machine itself, but also the cooling it needs to stay operational.

More info:

An MRI machine can use up to 400kWh per day across 12 hours or 12000kWh per month. This electrical consumption is equal to running 40 average houses for a month
